This program is a joyful starting line, created specifically by and for women in larger bodies.

A Welcoming Place to Start Dancing
Forget generic, one-size-fits-all routines. Here, your sturdy chair is your dance partner, providing support so you can move with confidence. We intentionally keep the tempo relaxed and the choreography simple, with every cue celebrating your body, not shaming it. You won't be trying to keep up; the class adapts to you. We groove to a curated playlist of Soul, Pop, Disco, and Motown classics—music that actually makes you want to move. The focus isn't on how many calories you burn; it's on the pure feeling of the rhythm.
Over the next six weeks, you'll transform your relationship with exercise. Each 20-minute session will gently increase your mobility, particularly in your hips and shoulders, leaving you feeling lighter and more fluid.
